Description of program:

You are to write a java program name elevator.java that simulates one elevator services in a 12-floor building. NOTE: There is only one elevator working this building.

Here are some requirements for the program:

1. The floors of the building are numbered 1 to 12.

2. At the start of the program, randomly generate 8 of the 12 floors to stop at while going up. These must be placed in an ArrayList which should be sorted in ascending order. Also generate another set of 5 numbers representing floors to stop at when going down and place it in another ArrayList. Sort this ArrayList in descending order.

3. Also at the start of the program the elevator must be located on the 1st floor and the first request is made from the ArrayList which must be a request to go up.

4. From the 1st floor, the elevator can only go in one direction up. And from the 12th floor the elevator can only go in one direction down. For the other floors, the elevator can go in either direction i.e. if it is going down when you get on and you want to go up and the down ArrayList is empty, then the elevator could start going up from that floor. The same will be true if the elevator is going up when you get on, and you want to go down and the up ArrayList is empty, then it can start going down from that floor.

5. The direction in which the elevator is going must be known at all times and the floor to which it is going. If the elevator is going up, the request could be anywhere from floor 2 to 12. If it is going down, it can be from 11 to 1, with 1 being the default.

6. The location of the elevator must be known at all times. The program should provide output regarding the current floor, whether the elevator is going up or down, which floor it is starting from and which floor it is going to, as the following output will show:

7. Each time you stop at a floor, you must stay there for 3 seconds (allowing the people to either enter the elevator or leave the elevator). Display this time in a counting format as well as an appropriate message. The elevator must take 2 seconds to move from one floor to another. No need to display this time.

8. It must also display the request structures requests for going up and down as shown above.

9. Request for the elevator must be randomly generated and placed in an up ArrayList and a down ArrayList (NO DUPLICATE VALUES ALLOWED). So the ArrayList size must be 12. Carry out the generation at the beginning of the program.

10. Every time the elevator stops at a floor, it should check the relevant request ArrayList to see which floor it should stop at next. It should then delete that floor from the request ArrayList when it stops at that floor.

11. Any other functions that you could implement that would make the elevator operation as realistic as possible.

11. Give the user the option to run the program again and again, etc.
